Tableau Desktop Bootcamp I For Beginners

ExistBI is a Tableau Partner

Course Description

We offer a 3-day (24-hour) Tableau Desktop Bootcamp training class designed to take users from beginner to more advanced levels. Our most popular Tableau training is a combination of the official two-day Desktop I: Fundamentals and two-day Desktop II: Intermediate curriculums which can be taken separately. It is for anyone who works with data – regardless of technical or analytical background.

This training class covers Tableau Desktop and Tableau Public functionality via a live instructor-led online classroom. You can also book a private group session online and onsite in your office.

All delegates receive extensive course materials (student guides and labs) and access to a licensed environment for hands-on labs. For our live instructor-led online training, we use WebEx meetings for all interaction: to view the trainer screen, audio communication, ask questions and lab support. You can also email the trainer or set up 1-1 meetings for additional support.

When you complete this course, you will be able to:
  • Connect to data and edit a data source.
  • Build interactive dashboards to reveal data insights, using techniques for guided analytics, interactive dashboard design and visual best practices.
  • Sort, filter and group data. Use the Tableau workspace to create a range of essential and advanced chart types for analysis.
  • Combine data from multiple tables using joins, unions and relationships.
  • Create basic and more advanced calculations, including table calculations, to modify data as needed for analysis.
  • Use parameters and input controls to support audience analysis.
  • Describe how to share and publish visualizations and much more…

Testimonials

The course was comprehensive and interactive, and the trainer really understood the content. I have been able to implement much of what I learned into my daily work activities and have saved a lot of time.

- Susan Medina, Advocate Health Care

Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.
